University Medical Centre

The University Medical Centre (UMC) has been providing primary care services to university students for many years. Plymouth University students have access to a dedicated, purpose-built GP surgery on campus. Students can see their doctor in a modern and well-designed building, right on campus, run by Peverell Park Surgery.
